Hear it from the source: Grace Helbig talks joining the leetUP tour on the "Daily Grace":
Said
Kevin Pereira: "Grace Helbig is the most hilarious, adorable and
talented woman on YouTube, and unless Curiosity finds a sign of life, in
the GALAXY! She may be known by millions for 'Daily Grace,' but just
wait until you see what happens when we strap a few GoPro cameras on her
body and toss her into the leetUP crowd!,"
A
wildly popular stand-up and improvisational comedian, Helbing is best
known as a correspondent on "G4's Attack of the Show!" and for creating
the monster hit web series known to millions as "Daily Grace" on My Damn
Channel - voted one of Time Magazine's Best50 websites of 2011. Since
the series' inception, Helbig has released over 1000 videos, amassed an
astounding 220,000+ channel subscribers and in excess of 34 million
views on YouTube alone. Earlier this year she was heralded by Time
Magazine's Techland column as one of the best 140 Twitter feeds shaping
the online conversation in 2012.
Helbig
brings her sassy and unique flavor to the leetUP "AWESOMESAUCE. LIVE!"
tour where she will perform stand-up sets for the audience and act as
roving reporter for check-ins with the crowd. She joins former "Attack
of the Show!" host, Kevin Pereira and a collection of geeky celebs and
interweb stars including Doug Benson, Paul Scheer, VJ Mike Relm, Epic
Meal Time, Zach Pearlman and Ask A Ninja in a two-fold live event
designed to celebrate everything nerd. With non-stop action on and off
the stage to include panels, podcasts, cosplay, competitions, live
entertainment, experiential zones with exclusive technology demos, photo
playsets, an old-school videogame arcade and more, it's a true festival
of nerdy delights. Upon hearing news of the launch of the leetUP tour,
Complex Magazine wrote "Kevin Pereira's Coachella for Nerds Will
Ravage..."
leetUP
was created in 2012 by the tour's host, Pereira, G4 Network founder,
Charles Hirschhorn and creative collective iam8bit, as a way for nerds
to come together to interactively celebrate all things geek in a
high-energy, entertaining and innovative environment. The experimental
pooling of their collective experience and tech "know-how" was a huge
hit, delighting over 1.000 fans at Los Angeles' Club Nokia with the
first-of-its kind experience to the world of the elite geek. Post-event,
social media blew up with fan postings of photos and videos from the
event, leading to demands across the country for leetUP to take the show
on the road.
